It can't happen here
this is a decent country
that's what they all say.
I'm still not cool with alt-history but I do love Jo Walton's style very much. This is a fairly cozy British whodunit, with an intrigue tackling broader social and political issues. I'll read the next one, but not in a hurry.
Spoiler warning. I could not put this book down for long after I got about a third into it. starting as an alt history book, it becomes a murder mystery soon, only to turn into a warning about fascism towards the end.
I found myself wishing for the longest time that it would still find a happy ending somehow, but alas. And it isn't even Herr Hitler's fault.
Definitely going to pick up the other books in the series.
